Happy New Year!!Gratitude:Thank you Chiara for coming in to make Slovakian ornaments. They came out cute and we taught some sewing skills too.Reminders:*Please have the students bring their instruments to music every Tues. & Thurs. a few students are forgetting and it is a waste of a class. I will start e-mailing parents of students that forget so you know. They will have a music based research paper to do instead.*Semester 1 ends Jan. 15, so now is the time for students to check their grades online for any missing or redo assessments because after Jan. 15 they can no longer turn in missing or redo assignments for semester 1.Important dates:*Monday 1/4 IS day, the work is on the schedule and in their planners*Tues. 1/5 start back to school after break*Fri. 1/15 end of semester 1*Monday 1/18 Martin Luther King Day, no school​*Thurs. 1/21 next LP calendar signing at 8:15 in our roomInspirational quote:
